Utah Player Offered 1 Million To Leave Utes

How much do you think Tank Bigsby at Auburn could have sold himself to Georgia?

I’m thinking they would’ve paid at least a million. They had players calling him in the off season trying to get him in the portal. From what I heard it was pretty aggressive.

Offensive tackles alone that are just decent and proven would get at least 300K and the elite ones probably a million.

This keeps going we will find out.

Aren't we already in the $millions for high school players?

How legit is this stuff?

We shifted almost 180 to a system that is incredibly good for the players, but at the detriment to competition levels across the sport. The old system benefitted large institutions, and this system only exacerbates that issue.

This is an assumption you are making. There hasn't been enough time to see what effect it may have.

I think there's a decent chance it could spread some of the talent around.

I was for a playoff (4 teams was enough though) but I’ve never been comfortable with the NIL.

I didn’t love the portal but accepted it (although it needs to be dialed back). But NIL is a fundamental change that has the ability to ruin the game. The only positive is that a lot of the shady stuff is above board now but the problem is the numbers are going through the roof.

I honestly don’t see any solution that doesn’t involved putting kids under contract. Otherwise we are just creating a yearly auction block and that’s not a good situation for anyone.

It's the first year of NIL. Of course, there is going to be some adjustments/tweaks to the system.

Also, I think it will "self-correct" to a degree. Let some business give a big NIL to some kid who doesn't pan out and/or leaves through the portal, there will be changes made.

Tharvot making an assumption? Huh
 
NIL deals could certainly include punitive language if a player left the geographic area.
